Abstract

On the occasion of 100th anniversary of establishment of Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, interesting information from the first log book of pathology service at Siriraj Hospital reveals that the first service commenced on September 19, 1919 – hence the first day of pathology service in Thailand. Its significance in history of modern medicine in Thailand is that, for the first time, clinical diagnosis is confirmed by pathologic examination using microscope for cytologic evaluation, leading to pathological diagnosis, commonly known as tissue diagnosis.
